A Mean Eye
Little Joan was learning to sew,
and had been trying for several
minutes to thread her needle. At
length, losing patience, she said
crossly: “I do believe the nasty
eye isn’t looking for the cotton.”—

Resourceful: The man who
promised his wife a circular tour
—and took her on a merry-go-
round.
Wrong Darling
“Is that you, darling? M-may I
bring three friends home to*sup
per?”
“Why, certainly, dear.”
“I say, did you hear what I
said?”
“Of course, dear: you asked if
you could bring home three
friends!”
“Then I’m sorry, madam, I’ve
got the wrong number!”
LEADING MAN
“Has that would-be actor ever
gone before an audience?”
“Yes—at a 2:40 gait.”
••Wooden - headed drivers are
best,” says a golf expert. Not on
the road.
Safe
“Can you crack nuts?” inquired
a small boy of his grandmother
as she sat mending his clothes
at the window.
“No, dear,” was the reply. “I
lost all my teeth years ago.”
“Then, please,” said the young
ster, producing a handful of nuts,
•‘would you hold these while I go
out for more?”

W HILE all the important
motion-picture producers
were trying to interest Ronald
Colman in big, serious dramas,
he slipped over to the Hal
Roach studio and agreed to star
in a goofy comedy called “Fan
cy Free.” No one else even sus
pected that Ronnie wanted to
join the parade of serious play
ers who have scored in light of
ferings.
His best friend, Bill Powell, is
suspected of selling him the idea.
Bill has such fun making comedies,
and so do Myrna Loy and Carole
Lombard, and the newest recruit,
Constance Bennett. I would not be at
all surprised if Constance were to
play the lead opposite Colman.
Now that Bill Powell is wandering
around Europe, Myrna Loy is going
to stray over to the
Twentieth Century-
Fox studio to make
a picture with War
ner Baxter, her sec
ond - best leading
man. The story is
“Career in C Ma
jor,” and is all
jabout a woman with
a not-so-good voice
who is absolutely
determined to get
into grand opera.
Her husband views
the whole project with distaste,
until he finds that his barber-shop
chord barytone is just what the op
era scouts have been looking for.
—■¥—
Just as soon as a radio performer
makes an outstanding hit, the mo
tion picture scouts grab him, so
now it is Professor Quiz who is go
ing to step before the camera. He
and James Wellington, the ever-
popular announcer, are going to be
in Columbia Pictures’ “Freshman
Follies.”
The tremendous popularity of
“The Prisoner of Zenda” has revived
interest in swashbuckling mythical
kingdom romances, so Sam Gold-
wyn has decided it is high time to
film “Graustark” again. It has
been made twice before, but not in
the gorgeous way that Sam will
make it. He plans to have Merle
Oberon play the beautiful princess
and Gary Cooper the American
newspaper man who rescues and
marries her.
Since he subbed for Don Ameche
on the Charlie-McCarthy-Nelson Ed
dy program, Herbert Marshall is
the most-sought-after actor in Holly
wood for radio programs. If any
sponsor could persuade him and
Claudette Colbert to appear regular
ly together, the program’s popular
ity rating would be sure to start
near the top. But just wait until
you hear Brian Aherne’s voice in
the Warner Brother’s picture, “The
Great Garrick.” He is going to give
Mr. Marshall some competition.
Phil Spitalny is being ribbed by
his friends, and all because he ran
into difficulties while filming a Para
mount short film featuring his Hour
of Charm All-Girl orchestra. They
all worked hard, finished the film on
schedule and went home satisfied
that they had done their best. But
the studio called up next day to
protest that a man’s voice could be
heard in the midst of the all-fem
inine chorus. Spitalny went to hear
the sound-track played, pretty in
dignant that their work had been
spoiled. Only to find that it was
his own voice on the film.
Motion-picture fans who have been
lamenting because so many of their
Hollywood favorites
have abandoned the
screen for a fling on
the stage can just
stop worrying. So
far the plays have
not been good
enough to hold the
players for long.
Sylvia Sidney, Hen
ry Fonda, and Elis-
sa Landi will prob
ably be back at Hol
lywood at work in
pictures before very
long. But Frederic March, undis
mayed by their so-so success, is
headed for New York with his wife
to do a stage play.

ODDS AND ENDS—fEalt Disney has
finally vetoed the plan to put Mickey
and Minnie Mouse on a weekly radio pro
gram. Can’t spare the time to see that it
is done right, and won’t let his little dar
ling Minnie and Mickey be directed by
anyone else . . . Alice Faye did not like
the dressing room Universal studio pro
vided for her, so she got a moving van to
bring her own dressing room bungalow
over from the 20th Century-Fox lot .. .
Olivia de Haviland has eliminated all the
other candidates for the lead in "Robin
Hood” opposite Errol Flynn. Each figures
that the other Irings luck to a picture
. . . Paul Muni and his wife are on a six
months’ world cruise to the deep regret
of all the companies who wanted him to
make another picture right away.

Lesson for October 24
CHRISTIAN RENEWAL
I N THE not-so-dim-and-distant past the mask was accepted as a symbol
of evil, the hiding of the face being regarded as sufficient proof that
the owner of the face was a person bent on a guilty mission.
In this scientific
age, h o w e v e r, the IP**™* 5
mask is in more gen-
efal use than at any
time in history. In
sport, in industry, on
the stage, in medicine,
aviation and the beau
ty parlor, the mask
has its important
niche. Here we pre
sent a few pictorial
examples submitted
by expert cameramen
throughout the United
States and Europe.
Once the court gallants of Elizabeth’s time wore masks when they
kept illicit love trysts. Statesmen, too, while engaged in intrigue, resorted
to this camouflage. Today a steel worker wears a mask to protect him
from the glare and super-heat of an oxy-acetylene torch.
Even animals wear masks in
Europe to protect them from
gas attacks in warfare.
At left, a German dog with its
pg|j mistress, and above, an Ameri-
m can military horse.
Throughout history, the
mask has been the symbol
of the theater. In ancient
Greece, all actors wore
masks. Theatrical masks of
pure gold have been found
in the tombs of Egypt’s
princesses and pharaohs.
At the right is seen a Benda
mask, used in the theater
of the present day.
This mask is unusually
mobile and, expertly used,
appears extraordinarily
lifelike.
Nowadays masks protect citizens from dust storms (left), guard foot
ball players against facial injuries (center) and protect surgeons and their
patients from infection. Even hay fever sufferers can get almost completD
relief by wearing masks which filter the irritating pollen from the air.
LESSON TEXT—Titus 3:1-11.
GOLDEN TEXT—For the grace of God
that bringeth salvation hath appeared to
all men.—Titus 2:11.
PRIMARY TOPIC—The Good Shepherd.
JUNIOR TOPIC—In His Likeness.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—
A New Life in Christ.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—
Renewed Life Through Christ.
The pastoral epistles, of which
Titus is one, were written by Paul to
his young brethren in the faith who
had been called to the ministry of
the gospel to instruct them concern
ing three important matters—(1)
Church order and organization, (2)
sound doctrine and (3) holy living.
The third chapter of Titus, our
lesson for today, deals with the life
of believers in Christ in their rela
tion to unbelievers. The great un
derlying reason why Christians
should conduct themselves in meek
ness and humility toward others is
that except for God’s grace we who
bear the name of Christ would be,
and indeed were before our regen
eration, just like the unbeliever.
We shall best study our lesson,
therefore, by considering first of all
| v. 3 which indicates the lost condi
tion of man by nature, then follow
him through the miracle of redeem
ing grace, w. 4 to 7, and finally see
him as a living testimony in w. 1, 2.
and 8 to 11.
I. Lost—by Nature (v. 3).
It is not a pleasant picture that is
painted in the graphic words of this
verse, but, remember, it is God’s
picture of the unbeliever. He is said
to be “foolish”—that is, irrational
and senseless in his course of liv
ing. He is “disobedient” to the
law of God. He is “deceived,” lit
erally “out of the way,” misled by
Satan. He thinks his pleasures and
lusts are serving him, but alas, he
is only a slave in bondage to and
serving them. Such a life can only
result in a man’s becoming hateful
to his fellowmen. They in turn are
hateful to him, and so he hates
them. Thus the whole world be
comes a hateful place where men
are “living in malice and envy.”
How we thank God that we need
not stop at this point. Man is by
nature lost in sin—but he may be
n. Saved—by Grace (w. 4-7).
How sweet are these three words
in the sinner’s ears! Saved by
grace, not works, and made heirs
of eternal life.
1. “Not by works” (v. 5). Some
one has said that man is determined
by one means or another to claim
salvation by his good works. To do
so may flatter the flesh, but it
surely finds no support whatever in
Scripture. We are to work for Christ
because we are saved, and after we
are saved, but no man can be
saved by works.
2. “Bjr his grace” (v. 7). God
shows his unspeakable kindness and
love toward man—saving him by
grace, through Jesus Christ. Grace
has well been defined as “unmerit
ed favor.” We deserve but the just
condemnation of our sin, and God
in his mercy saves us, through faith
in his Son.
3. “Made heirs” (v. 7). Saved
now? Yes, thank God! Satisfied?
Yes, praise his name! But there
is more yet to come. We who de
served only God’s judgment are now
; made heirs of an eternal hope. ’Tis
indeed no small thing to be a child
of God.
Now—we are ready to approach
in the right spirit the admonition to
live out our salvation as a daily
testimony to others.
III. Witnessing, by Holy Living
(w. 1, 2, 8-11).
The young preacher Titus is told
to “put them in mind” to be
1. Subject to rulers (v. 1). True
patriotism (and we did not spell
it “pay-triotism”) stands very close
to godly living. National leaders
would do well to recognize that the
; decay of our national life will follow
the decadence of spiritual life. A
man who is right with God will be
right with his fellowmen, and a no
ble and useful citizen.
2. Meek and kind to all men (v. 2).
Meekness is not weakness. Gentle
ness is the attribute of strong men
and women.
3. Maintaining good, avoiding evil
(w. 8-11). It is the tendency of
man to divorce morals from reli
gion, to profess a faith which does
not touch his daily life. Let us af
firm “constantly” and “confident
ly” (as the R. V. has it) that those
who believe in God should “be care
ful to maintain good works”—yes,
and at the same time to “avoid”
that which is “foolish,” contentious,
“unprofitable and vain.”
Knowledge and Ignorance
The best part of our knowledge is
that which teaches us where knowl
edge leaves off and ignorance be
gins.—O. W. Holmes.
Justice
Justice is the idea of God, the
ideal of man, the rule of conduct
writ in the nature of mankind.—
Theodore Parker.
The Test of Truth
The truth makes free, brings joy.
hope, encouragement.

Y OU can pay as high as voi
want for remedies claimed to
relieve the pain of Headache,
Rheumatism, Neuritis, Sciatica,
etc. But the medicine so many
doctors generally approve — the
one used by thousands of families
daily — is Bayer Aspirin — 15^ a
dozen tablets — about 1 f apiece.
Simply take 2 Bayer Aspirin
tablets with a half glass of water.
Repeat, if necessary, according to
directions.
Usually this will ease such pain
in a remarkably short time.
For quick relief from such pain
which exhausts you and keeps
you awake at night — ask for
genuine Bayer Aspirin.
Let It Be Pleasing
Of all the things you wear, your
expression is the most important.
Remember This When
You Need a Laxative
It is better for you if your body
keeps working as Nature intended.
Food wastes after digestion should
be eliminated every day. When you
get constipated, take a dose or two
of purely vegetable Black-Draught
for prompt, refreshing relief.
Thousands and thousands of men and
women like Black-Draught and keep It
always on hand, for use at the first sign
of constipation. Have you tried it?
BLACK-DRAUGHT

Making Opportunities
Weak men wait for opportuni
ties, strong men make them.
HELP KIDNEYS
To Get Rid of Acid
and Poisonous Waste
Your kidneys help to keep you well
by constantly filtering waste matter
from the blood. If your kidneys get
functionally disordered and fail to
remove excess impurities, there may be
K isoning of the whole system and
dy-wide distress.
Burning, scanty or too frequent uri
nation may be a warning of aome kidney
or bladder disturbance.
You may suffer nagging backache,
persistent headache, attacks of dizziness,
getting up nights, swelling, puffiness
under the eyeS—feel weak, nervous,' all
played out.
In such cases It is better to rely on a
medicine that has won country-wide
acclaim than on something less favor
ably known. Use Doan’s PiUs. A multi
